Podiatry & Chiropody

It’s so easy to neglect our feet, and yet they are fundamental to how we move, perform and live. We’re here to help you improve or alleviate any painful or worrying foot conditions, providing a personal touch with holistic care.

Podiatry is the branch of medicine devoted to diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle and lower leg. The titles Podiatrist and Chiropodist are interchangeable in the UK, however Podiatrist is a registered title and can only be used by practitioners registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC).

Hyde Barker Health Podiatrists are HPC registered and provide comprehensive chiropody and podiatry treatments for all foot conditions, including:

Corns and calluses
Fungal, thickened, painful nail conditions
Arch and ball of foot pain
Nail surgery for ingrown nails
Verrucae
Sport-related injuries
Conditions related to diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis

If you would like information on specific foot conditions please go to The Royal College of Podiatry’s Common Foot Problems webpage, where a comprehensive description of causes and treatment of foot conditions is available. Podiatrists and chiropodists can provide outstanding treatment and advice to keep people active and mobile, which can make a real difference to their quality of life.

At Hyde Barker Health, we have excellent links with the surgical podiatry service within the NHS and are able to refer to other specialists for further investigations if necessary.
